About
Costco Membership is the annual subscription model underpinning Costco Wholesale Corporation's (NASDAQ: COST) warehouse club business — the $4.99/month or $65/year Gold Star individual membership and $130/year Executive membership that grants access to Costco's 890+ warehouse locations globally, Costco.com, and exclusive member pricing on bulk merchandise. Costco's membership model is the strategic foundation of its retail economics: Costco generates virtually all of its operating profit from membership fees (approximately $4.8 billion in fiscal year 2024) rather than merchandise margins — enabling the company to price merchandise at minimal markup above cost while maintaining industry-leading profitability.
NASDAQ: SFIX AI-powered personal styling service shipping curated clothing to 3.7M active clients; $2.1B FY2024 revenue with $87M adjusted EBITDA profitability competing with Amazon Personal Shopper for apparel subscription market.
